+# GD Graphics (Draw) Library
+
+[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/libgd/libgd.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/libgd/libgd)

+
+GD is an open source code library for the dynamic creation of images by
+programmers.
+
+GD is written in C, and "wrappers" are available for Perl, PHP and other
+languages. GD can read and write many different image formats. GD is commonly
+used to generate charts, graphics, thumbnails, and most anything else, on the
+fly.
+
+The most common applications of GD involve website development, although it
+can be used with any standalone application!
+
+The library was originally developed by Thomas Boutell and is now maintained
+by many contributors (see the [CONTRIBUTORS](CONTRIBUTORS) file) under the
+umbrella of PHP.net.
